    2024 Trustee Election

    The School Board Election was scheduled for May 4, 2024, for Places 1 and 2. Both places had only one candidate file an application for a place on the ballot. With all races unopposed, the election has been cancelled. The unopposed candidates, Dr. Marilyn Tolbert in Place 1 and Mrs. Paige Ring in Place 2, will assume their 2024-2027 terms after the May 4, 2024 election date. 

    About the Board of Trustees

    The Board of Trustees consists of seven members elected to serve, without compensation, for overlapping three-year terms. Elections are held annually on the first Saturday in May. While candidates run for specific places, they do not represent specific geographical areas. Rather, each represents EMS ISD at large. The board annually elects a president, vice president and a secretary at the organizational meeting for the election of officers.

    To be elected to the EMS ISD Board of Trustees, a candidate must receive a plurality of votes, meaning more votes than any other candidate, except as otherwise provided by law.
